Screening for future NCCIH studies
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This is a screening study to find healthy volunteers who may join future research on complementary health approaches at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. You’ll be checked to make sure you’re in good general health and don’t have conditions that could affect pain or heat sensitivity tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how people sense heat and pain, and how the brain and emotions may influence that experience. It is designed for healthy adults and may involve training sessions and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
This study looks at how beliefs, mood, and social factors affect how people express and judge pain. It mainly uses pain/heat testing and—if chosen—brain scans to understand why pain reports can differ between people.
This study looks at how accurately people can describe their pain and related symptoms. It may help researchers improve how pain is measured in future studies.
This trial uses controlled, short-term pain testing (a “pain study”) to better understand how pain works during and after certain cancer treatments. It may help researchers improve how cancer therapy pain is measured and managed.
This trial tests how your body's natural pain control responds to cold. You'll have a cold sensation applied to your skin to see how well your body can block pain without medication.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how your brain responds to different feelings, including mild heat pain. It may help researchers learn more about pain and brain processing by comparing your responses during the tests.
